I realized it's actually 11 days..because of travel

I was counting up the days and realized he will be back on the 11th day, that evening. Dee is having a good week. He is doing computer work with his intelligence job...doing mock drills and such. He is enjoying being with his friend Sean.
His back is bothering him some, so tonight, they are going to swim, then sit in the sauna. They have the weekend off, so they are going to head out in three different directions/3 vans. One is going to Tucson to a college basketball game...Another is going to a National Park to hike, and another is going to Tombstone, Arizona.
Dee and Sean are going to Tombstone. I contacted the Birds of Prey show to find out about a group rate or military discount. The owner said they just got in to town last week, and the show doesn't open until next Saturday....but he was gracious and offered for the soldiers to come and see the birds up close...and take pictures with them! Cool!
They will probably eat at the Crystal Palace....and see a gun fight!
If I can figure out how to post more pictures, I will when he sends them.
Jessie will be studying the Wild West later this year...so the pictures will be neat to have....and Jolie will be studying North America soon, so we can use the pix for that!

This time, the seperation has been a little easier. I think God is truly preparing us for the seperation by tempering us with shorter times of seperation. God has also put other military wives in my path...those that have been through it before. It's great to counsel with them as well. Thanks ladies.

Today is Jessie's bday party......so we are taking a few girls to see Hotel for Dogs! Then we'll walk to Cold Stone Creamery for ice cream! YUM! I love that Jessie isn't a big birthday cake person...and would rather have ice cream. ME TOO!

So 7 more days and Dee will be home. He flies in around 7 pm next Saturday. The countdown continues..................
